Really?

It finally shows up where I live and now Obama declares a national emergency.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/us.../25flu.html?hp

Quote:
President Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, allowing hospitals and local governments to speedily set up alternate sites and procedures if needed to handle any surge of patients, the White House said on Saturday.

oh wait a second now that I read the article
Quote:
The emergency declaration, which Mr. Obama signed Friday night, has to do only with hospital treatment, not with the vaccine.


Quote:
Against this backdrop, administration officials emphasized that Mr. Obama’s declaration was largely a bureaucratic move that did not signify any unanticipated worsening of the outbreak of the H1N1 flu nationwide. Nor, they said, does it have anything to do with the recent reports of vaccine shortages.

Now for the Bush reference.
Quote:
Since last winter’s more isolated cases of swine flu, the expectation that the virus would return with a vengeance in this flu season had posed a test of the Obama administration’s preparedness. Officials are mindful that the previous administration’s failure to better prepare for and respond to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 left doubts that dogged President George W. Bush to the end of his term.

I love how they like to point at Bush and call him the bad guy.

As soon as Obama does half as many mistakes as Bush did, I am sure the onus will shift onto him. Until then we are comparing apples to oranges.

I am not troubled by the H1N1 outbreak. I have good investments in the healthcare markets as well as in cleaning and mask companies. Not to mention that most everyone I know is over the 24 Year old barrier.

I'm not too worried about it but I don't think that the high school student in my area should wear the doctors mask as a joke about it.
